FOR A MOMENT I I totally thought this was fan made, but apparently it's an official animation for Harrod's "Disney Princesses" or the 'Electric Holiday' showcase announced a couple months earlier during the summer.

DISNEY has teamed up with US department store Barneys to immortalise a host of fashion's key names through a cartoon film that will be broadcast in the shop from Wednesday, November 14.

The short, entitled Electric Holiday, follows Minnie Mouse as she dreams her way to Paris Fashion Week. Along her travels, she comes across a selection of the industry's most famous faces - including Lady Gaga, Alber Elbaz, Carine Roitfeld, Sarah Jessica Parker and Mario Sorrenti. The film will be played on repeat on LED tiles that cover the two-story ground floor façade, WWD reports.

#Character Spotlight: VirginieSiveton's "Tribute to..." Tiana and Pocahontas

VirginieSiveton is a pretty proficient artist who enjoys drawing pin up versions the Disney Princesses and general human models. Of his pinup I thought the ones of Tiana and Pocahontas were probably his strongest (the POC heroines, Mulan, Jasmine and Esmeralda were borderline whitewashed). Be sure to check out his gallery in the link.

#Character Spotlight: teaat2am's "Rapunzel" and "The Little Mermaid"

teaat2am is the artist responsible for the Indian/South Asian "Snow White" that was featured in the discussion thread that gave birth to this community. I'm not sure why I never searched their blog further, but to discover they made other renditions of the fairy tales Rapunzel and The Little Mermaid makes me happy.
